Opinions and recommendations are ours alone.No matter if youâre a fancy scotch, cheap vodka, or tequila shots kind of person, pretty much every adult that doesnât completely abstain from alcohol has a favorite type of liquor. But do liquor preferences vary across the country? In this campaign, we analyzed Google Trends search interest data from the last year to determine the most popular type of liquor, liquor brand, and celebrity liquor brand in each U.S. state. According to our results, Americans like a lot of different types of liquor. In fact, out of the 14 different types of liquor we ran a keyword search for, 11 are the most popular type of liquor in at least 1 state. This even includes less common liquors like Nevadaâs most popular liquor, absinthe, and Utahâs most popular liquor, vermouth. While a lot of different liquors are the most popular in at least 1 state, for many of the staple liquors, 1 state is as far as things go. For example, gin is only the most popular liquor in Washington, D.C., rum is only the most popular liquor in Hawaii, brandy is only the most popular liquor in Wisconsin, and bourbon is only the most popular liquor in Kentucky (though if bourbon is only going to be #1 in 1 state, it makes sense that itâs Kentucky!). When we zoom in on specific liquor brands, however, the popularity of various types of liquor begins to change. For example, Hawaii isnât the only state that appreciates rum after all as, according to our results, the coconut rum Malibu is the most popular brand of liquor in most states. But the discrepancy between the popular types of liquor and the popular brands of liquor doesnât stop there. Of the other most popular liquor brands, Appleton Estate is a rum, Hennessy is a cognac, and Jose Cuervo is a tequila â only Ciroc fits in the whiskey/vodka category. The tides turn back in the favor of whiskey and vodka when we look at celebrity liquor brands, however, as UFC fighter Conor McGregorâs Proper No. Twelve Triple Distilled Irish Whiskey and Dan Aykroyd and John Alexanderâs Crystal Head Vodka are the most popular celebrity liquor brands on a state-by-state basis. Diving deeper, we found that celebrity brands and overall liquor types matched up in several states. In California, while tequila won as the most popular liquor type, Elon Muskâs Tesla Tequila also reigned supreme. On the other hand, gin and Ryan Reynoldâs Aviation Gin both ranked #1 for search volume in Washington, D.C. New Yorkers also showed loyalty to DeLeÃ³n Tequila, the brand of none other than Harlem native and rapper P. Diddy. It was no surprise that Tennessee was true to Knoxville-native Kenny Chesney, with Blue Chair Bay Rum reigning supreme in the country starâs home state. We determined keywords for liquor types and liquor brands using information from popular alcohol-based websites Vine Pair and The Spirit Business. The celebrity liquor brands were determined using a list from Esquire. In all, there were 150 keywords used â 14 liquor types, 73 popular liquor brands, and 63 celebrity brands. The Google Trends data used to determine the popularity of each type, brand, and celebrity brand of liquor in each state comes from the last year (February 2021 to February 2022).
